Abstract

The article is devoted to the coverage of foreign philosophical, theoretical and legal traditions of the organization of state power. The legal nature of state power and its interpretation at different stages of human development are considered by author. Issues of the relationship between state power and ideological social orientations are revealed. The correlation between state power and society is explained, the necessity to organize knowledge in the scientific system and make them the property of citizens in order to streamline a more organized, cultural, civilized, secure and free life. Today, democratic processes require the power to govern with minimal use of force. Citizens of post-totalitarian societies tend to equate force and power, and the transition to a new perception of power requires a considerable amount of time, a change in generations. It is such processes that we observe in modern Ukraine. Society fights freedom from total power. Political events, such as the 2004 Orange Revolution and the 2014 Dignity Revolution, may serve as confirmation of this. For Ukraine, which is at the stage of reforms, the historical and contemporary experience of organizing the state power of foreign countries has a particular importance, since the changes should apply to all spheres of public life and the exercise of power both at central and local levels.
